Debbie Loane

Since graduating in Fine Art from Leeds University in 1995 , Debbie now lives and works just north of York. She comes from a largely agricultural background and as a painter working with the landscape she feels constantly challenged to create work which acknowledges the romantic splendour of the Northern landscape, whilst at the same time being conscious that her work is rooted in the daily practicalities of rural life.

Debbie believes that every individual has the potential to impose something different and unique on what he or she sees. In this way contemporary landscape painting can give her the freedom to express not only the literal but also allows her to acknowledge pasts, presents and futures both real and projected, documented, or dreamed.
